What types of projects, internships and research papers should I do?

I graduated Bsc Maths this year(3 year course). I want to pursue my master's in AI and Data Science or in CS at US/UK with need based scholarship. But, my gpa is very low, like 6.6 (I tried to crack other entrance exams instead of focusing on my ug). I'm currently self learning AI engineering and Data Science. Haven't taken GRE/TOEFL yet. - What type of projects, internships, research papers and other stuffs should I take to improve my profile for fall 2025?? - Are there any good universities looking for skills more than gpa?? - I'm also planning to take gate2025. Is there any abroad universities accepting gate score?? #masters #ms #Masters #uk #us #USA #unitedstates #unitedkingdom #internships #projects #researchpaper #ai #datascience #computerscience #fall2025 #Fall2025 #lowgpa #research #extracurriculars #skills #university #scholarships #needbased
